GOLD Today, with a strong U.S. Stock market, U.S. Dollar, and the 10-year Bond yield higher, Gold could only go lower from the open. I am getting a little disappointed with the lack of carry through in the Gold price during Wednesday and Thursday trading. I really would like to see Gold break above the very important $1,250 per ounce...

GOLD It appears that a convergence of factors are making Gold look like the ultimate safe haven investment. These factors include shockingly weak economic data from Germany; weak economic data here in the U.S.; another huge sell-off in U.S equities; an enormous rally in bonds (which see the 10-year yield below 2%); another big sell-off in crude oil; and another...

GOLD Gold has traded in a narrow $7.60 high/low price range today ($1,230.80 to $1,238.40) on average trading volume. The Gold market appears to be waiting for direction while trying to build a base. Many traders are waiting for a rally to $1,245 or above to make a short sale, but there is good price support above $1,220 per ounce...

GOLD Gold traded in a very narrow $8 high/low price range today ($1,217 to $1,225). The bias continues to be negative, considering this week’s very bullish precious metal news from the IMF and Federal Reserve, Gold should be $50 higher. At 11am PDT today, Gold is trading at $1,221.70, down $2.30 per ounce on light volume. SILVER Silver had a...

GOLD At 2pm EDT yesterday, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its Sept 16-17, 2014 Governors meeting. During the meeting there was a heated debate among the Fed Governors over the current policy of cutting back or eliminating financial stimulus and hiking interest rates. The minutes also show concern about the rising dollar, slowing inflation, and economic turmoil in...

GOLD Yesterday the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released a report stating that the weak European countries’ economies will put downward pressure on global growth. This bearish forecast drove down the world’s equity markets, with the U.S. Dow Jones dropping 272 points. The forecast also affected the U.S. Dollar, driving down its value. This bearish economic announcement should have been VERY...

GOLD With the markets down today and the US Dollar Index holding about par, I am impressed to see how Gold is behaving today. Not only is the volume of trading higher than normal, but during Asian trading hours Gold held above $1,205 an ounce, and continued to rise as the European and US markets opened. I’d like to see...
